Bug Description

This is against package gnome-screensaver (not in the list yet :( ), assigning
to seb128 as he is the maintainer of the package.

I'm using on my laptop an xinerama like setup (in fact, its the mergedfb feature
from radeon drivers).

when gnome-screensaver locks the screen, only the left (primary) screen is
locked. The secondary screen can be used normally. This makes locking defacto
useless.

Severity critical, due to potential security issues.
